Football Manager Series

Finally in game graphics.

What's your opinion based on the given footage?

Looks graphically much better than the current match engine but still has the clunkyness of it.

TBH though I don't buy FM for the match engine.

In all honesty, after a two year break, I was expecting a lot more. The players are still essentially stick-men, and the foot-planting is still dreadful (so much skating).

Do I care if the player performances and results are realistic? No. It's a management game, so ultimately it's not important.

But I feel like a major graphical upgrade was the main benefit of switching to Unity (outside of being able to port it to more platforms more easily). If that's the biggest upgrade then...

I think they did the same thing as Effotball 22. They programmed PES21 onto a new engine, but simply programmed all the animations onto the new engine.
The main goal was not to offer particularly beautiful graphics, but to switch to the engine that could be programmed (ports) most easily on all systems.

Which one is Salah ? Players' height difference doesn't seems to be obvious here




I was expecting to see players collisions, a feint.. Perso. I don't need a big graphic improvement for a game such FM, but was waiting to see more fluid animation. There's not a single feint in the video, not even a fake shot.

Normally here, a player should loose a little bit of balance after an attempted sliding tackle on him. Thing the player in the footage didn't.

There's no screenshot with a match playing at night ?
